Ongoing Protests in Bangladesh; Heads of Judiciary and Central Bank Resign

With the continuation of student protests in Bangladesh and the insistence of protesting students on the resignation of officials appointed during Sheikh Hasina's premiership, the heads of the judiciary and the central bank of Bangladesh have resigned from their positions. One of the advisors to the Ministry of Justice of Bangladesh announced in a Facebook post that Ubaidul Hasan, the head of the judiciary, decided to resign following warnings from students about the 'severe consequences' of not stepping down. He, who is one of the advisors of the transitional government, urged the protesters to remain peaceful and not to damage public property. According to Reuters, an advisor to the Ministry of Finance of Bangladesh also stated that Abdul Raouf Talukder, the head of the central bank, has resigned, but due to the importance of this position, his resignation request has not been accepted. In recent days, four deputy heads of the central bank have been forced to resign due to protests by 300 to 400 banking officials against what they called 'financial corruption' of senior officials. Another high-ranking official who was forced to resign in recent days is the deputy head of Dhaka University, in the capital of Bangladesh. Dhaka University was the center of protests that initially began against the quota system for government jobs and later led to the ousting of Sheikh Hasina. So far, about 300 people, mostly students, have lost their lives in the protests in Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina, who ruled this 170 million population country in South Asia for 15 years, fled to New Delhi, the capital of India, on Monday. It was reported that Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position before fleeing to India, but her son stated that she did not take such action. Since Sheikh Hasina's departure, some senior security officials such as the police chief, heads of security organizations, and senior military personnel have been forced to resign.
